Clean water should be available to everyone. But for too many people, it’s not. If there is no reliable source of clean water or hygiene, the community suffers. Handwashing with soap is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to contain the spread of diseases like Covid-19. But a shocking three billion people still have nowhere to wash their hands with soap.

This Ramadan, you can help change this. Give your Zakat, and bring clean water and good hygiene to those who need it most. With your help, families can stay healthy, break free from poverty and thrive.

Your Zakat can make clean water a reality for communities around the world and support current projects in places like Pakistan, Mali and Bangladesh.

You can help fund vital projects to make sure that children have clean water to drink. They can grow up healthy and strong, and go to school. Women and men get to earn a living. Whole communities will flourish.

Together, we can help change people’s lives for good.
